I HAVE NOTICED A SEVERE INCREASE IN MY EXCEMA AND INABILITY TO CONTROL BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS FOR DIABETES 2 OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS. COINCIDENTALLY THE APPROX. SAME PERIOD I HAVE BEEN TAKING /USING "SPLENDA "AS A SWEETENER .. NOT THINKING OF THIS AS A TABLET SUCH AS ASPIRIN OR OTHER THINGS YOU GET FROM A CHEMIST I HAD BEEN BLAMING THE INCREASED ALLERGY ON SUCH THINGS AS PANADEINE, BLOOD PRESSURE TABLETS, CHOLESTERAL REDUCERS ETC. AND OTHER PRESCRIBED MEDICINES .
SUDDENLY THE SO CALLED PENNY DROPPED AND I LOOKED AT MALTODEXTRIN SPECIFICALLY AS SPLENDA. I KNOW I HAVE AN ALLERGY TO BARLEY AND OTHER FOODS . ANYONE ELSE OUT THERE WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS ESP. EXCEMA INFLAMMATIONS ??
